Gibbo Posted July 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use a Spider4pro to calibrate my monitor and the colours in lightroom, PSE and flickr look spot on (to me) on my pc. However, they seem to have a very blue hue to them when I view them on my tablet or my wife's laptop. This morning, for the first time, I dragged some photos to dropbox and when I viewed them there, on my pc, they also appeared to have taken this blue hue. The colours appear to be ok when I view the photos on my phone. Am I doing something wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted July 4, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2014 A complicated subject and I'm sorry I have no insight other than wonder if the tablet or laptop can be calibrated. I also use a Spider 4 Pro, and the same images I see on my PC, my pals PC, and my iPad are identical. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted July 4, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 4, 2014 This is a reason folks care about the specifications and quality of a given monitor/screen, and bother to calibrate it in the first place. And, even with a given screen, different external lighting conditions can influence appearance. I often wonder why some folks who go to all the trouble only post online and don't print. What do they think others are seeing on their screen? I don't know enough about your particular devices, or the settings you've chosen, to know what specifically is at play. There are many variables in color management. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyasi Posted July 5, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 5, 2014 I don't guarantee anything, but I have had good iPad color rendition using sRGB jpg. I normally work in pro photo space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 6, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2014 Colour space mismatch? Make sure the images displayed on uncalibrated screens are in sRGB and do not embed a colour profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted August 23, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 23, 2014 Colour space mismatch? Make sure the images displayed on uncalibrated screens are in sRGB and do not embed a colour profile. Yes, the photo must be put into sRGB for internet or the display color space of the device. Or a photo was loaded to an internet site and then downloaded, they may have compressed it and surely changed it to sRGB. There is a color space mismatch or calibration problem somwhere.

wda Posted August 25, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Do you routinely save the embedded profiles with each image? It is easy to forget and can make a difference. Also, your tablet may not be able to recognise colour embedded profiles. Just a couple of suggestions.

Gibbo Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted November 26, 2014 The answer to this was that my jpegs were being saved as proRGB and now that I save them as sRGB the problem is resolved! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 26, 2014 Share #9 Posted November 26, 2014 Ah, so simple. Never thought of that, even though when I finish working on a photograph and it is saved as a 16 bit Pro Photo TIFF I do make another downsized web version and convert the file to 8 bit sRGB JPEG. And yes, on Flickr it can make a big difference although I think they went though a short period when the colour really was coming across as over saturated and with odd colour balances from the posted picture. Recently Flickr seem to have quite a good colour rendition without any interference from software. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert blu Posted November 26, 2014 Share #10 Posted November 26, 2014 This is why I like to use LR which allows to export pictures with appropriate resolution and color space depending on the final use (web posting or ...) robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted November 26, 2014 Share #11 Posted November 26, 2014 Isn't this what Jaap and Tobey mentioned 4 months ago? Regardless, congrats. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirekti Posted December 4, 2014 Share #13 Posted December 4, 2014 Colour space mismatch? Make sure the images displayed on uncalibrated screens are in sRGB and do not embed a colour profile. How can I make sure the file has no color profile embedded? In LR I only see options for Image Format and Color Space when using export to hard drive.

jaapv Posted December 5, 2014 Share #14 Posted December 5, 2014 My remark was indeed a Photoshop one, where one can simply deselect "embed colour space" in the .jpg save dialog., or use "save for the web" Lightroom, I think, does indeed not offer these options, so you can probably do best by selecting the smallest colour space for internet display, i.e. sRGB.

Yes PS is excellent for web resizing and maintaining detail...good algorithm. Lightroom; I haven't found how to do it, as Jaap says. With colour sliders in PS, Raw Converter and LR you should be able to easily get any colours you want....entirely the photographer's discretion. Applying some presets you've made is effective too. cheers Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
